The registrar's own records: 113 grades over 4 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 4 terms ran 3.40 to 3.91.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

- I 2 of 115
Percentages are of the 113 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I).
How the non-letter outcomes are counted
They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

Why Predicted is not the Raw average
“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.
Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for MAT SCI 33W in any term it holds, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
In Falls
Ran in 3 of the last 4 Falls. dibs has no record of it in any quarter since Fall 2024.
From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.
From the registrar's catalog
Seminar, three hours; laboratory, two hours; discussion, one hour; outside study, nine hours. Requisite: English Composition 3. Exploration of three classes of materials and composites, and relationships that exist between structural elements of materials and their properties: vitreous materials, building material binders, and pigments and colorants. Through study of ancient materials and technology in archaeology and architecture, exploration of relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance for: vitreous materials--ceramics, frits, and glass; building material binders--aerial lime-based mortars, natural and artificial hydraulic lime/cements and concretes; and pigments and colorants (natural and synthetic organic, inorganic, and organic/inorganic hybrids). Through reverse engineering processing, exploration of ancient engineering materials (their micro/nano structure and physical, chemical, and mechanical properties), and their durability and sustainability as time-proven examples of technology innovation and/or invention. Letter grading.
